State Rep. Tommy Woods, R-Byhalia, is retiring from the Mississippi House of Representatives after serving more than 25 years in the state Legislature.
In a phone interview Monday, Woods said he has not officially tendered his resignation to House Speaker Philip Gunn but plans to do so.
“I have really enjoyed doing my job and representing the people,” Woods said Monday from his Byhalia home. “It has really been a blessing. I hate to have to step down but my doctor says I have to.”
